Respect the Blade Lyrics
I tried to brace myself for impact
But the preparation was nearly useless
Almost as useless as my earlier efforts
I can't keep this inside
You're gonna brag? Don't brag on me
You wish you had your hands in this
But the truth is the truth, that's all
And at first
We weren't noticing the way you talked to us all
In reverse
Forced to walk upon a string
In hopes that we won't fall
And you plucked a young group from the heart of the hills
With the promise of the world to dangle
In front of her face, his face, her face
What if we left you behind?
The tables turned, this time not me
If you were as half as tough as I thought you were
You'd stand there like a man
And at first
We weren't noticing the way you talked to us all
In reverse
Forced to walk upon a string
In hopes that we won't fall
The look on your face
A smile that never took it's place
It's absent like me
The look on your face
A smile that never took it's place
It's absent like me (we'll give it you)
The look on your face
A smile that (we'll give it to you) never took it's place
It's absent like me (we'll give it to you)
The look on your face
A smile that (we'll give it to you) never took it's place
It's absent like me
We'll give it to you (x8)
What if we left you behind?
The tables turned, this time not me
If you were as half as tough
Half assed tough as I thought you were
I can't hold this inside
If you're gonna brag, don't brag on me
You wish you had your hands in this
But the truth is the truth, that's all
But the preparation was nearly useless
Almost as useless as my earlier efforts
You're gonna brag? Don't brag on me
You wish you had your hands in this
But the truth is the truth, that's all
We weren't noticing the way you talked to us all
In reverse
Forced to walk upon a string
In hopes that we won't fall
With the promise of the world to dangle
In front of her face, his face, her face
The tables turned, this time not me
If you were as half as tough as I thought you were
You'd stand there like a man
We weren't noticing the way you talked to us all
In reverse
Forced to walk upon a string
In hopes that we won't fall
A smile that never took it's place
It's absent like me
The look on your face
A smile that never took it's place
It's absent like me (we'll give it you)
The look on your face
A smile that (we'll give it to you) never took it's place
It's absent like me (we'll give it to you)
The look on your face
A smile that (we'll give it to you) never took it's place
It's absent like me
The tables turned, this time not me
If you were as half as tough
Half assed tough as I thought you were
I can't hold this inside
If you're gonna brag, don't brag on me
You wish you had your hands in this
But the truth is the truth, that's all

To me, this is about a father who gradually, and by deceitful means, abandons his family. He is never forthright or honest about his need to move on, and basically snubs his children in his avoidance of closure.
